Gwynnevier Westinghouse's Discussions

Fine ladies, I have recently purchased an under-bust corset that is one smaller than it should be ;) I need to add to the modesty panel to cover another 4" in the back, but I can't figure out what…Continue

"Good Reverend,
Are you still in search of someone with whom to correspond? I haven't any revolutionary ideas, as of late; instead I would like to give you the reason why I believe our conversations could be uniquely interesting: in…"

Too bad you couldn't make the MIX event. It was grand fun to say in the least!"

Introduction

Fine Greetings and Hello to all ye readers. Exploring and expressing the deep connection I feel with the later half of the 1800s is but one of the reasons I'm here.

My persona is Gwynnevier Westinghouse, (fictional) daughter of inventor George Westinghouse. So to as follow in his (and my real-life biological father's) footsteps, I, too, am studying to be an electrical engineer. I have moved from our comfortable home in Pittsburgh further into the Connecticut Western Reserve to study at the Case Institute of Technology, hence the self-applied title of Electrical Engineering Apprentice (EEA).

I am fair to bursting with good news! We SHALL attend the Symposium! Alas, We must depart on Saturday afternoon, but we will definitely make an appearance. My Goodness... what to wear? Day Dress? Traveling Garb? A ball gown? I am at a loss! Could you be so kind as to share which type of ensemble you plan to don for this wonderful inaugural event?

I dearly hope that we shall attend the Symposium. The fact that Cincnnati is hosting such a wondrous event is remarkable!

The challenge is: that weekend is also the first weekend of Jazz Fest in New Orleans. The trip was a Christmas gift for my darling Aleister. Needless to say, we are doing a bit of "negotiating" to move the trip to the Second weekend and also attend the Symposium.

I shall keep you informed of the final decision. The spirits indicate a favorable outcome.

Thank you for accepting my offer of continued friendship. I have not attempted to create a hat as yet. I do, however, have the most wondrous ideas for adornments! Perhaps I shall let your suggestion be my inspiration and finally move from ideas to actual finished product. My plan is to add a crowe (naturally) as well as Aural Receptors (hat pins) and a necromantic snare (a lovely veil) as a way of providing both form and a bit of protection from those beasties able to traverse the veil between worlds.

To respond to your second inquiry... Loveland is a suburb of Cincinnati. My darling Aleister and I repatriated from Italy to this locale a few years ago. The people are kind and welcoming, and the weather is usually within reason...so I believe we may stay for a while.

I am impressed that you recognized the Haserot Angel! I went to see it today after visiting my grands (maternal and paternal grandparents are buried at Lakeview, so I'm there once/twice a month at least!) Happy New Year's and be blessed!

Thank you kindly! I see that you are interested in belly dancing. I am acquainted with a few belly dancers and I am interested in starting myself. For health and for pleasure. Have you already organized a group yet? If so, any chance there is an opening for a new member?
